That's the hardest topic of all. It's a total non starter for me. It's been so long since our group met that it's no longer a group. #ttrpg - ThreadSky

I purposely schedule my group weekly knowing we will be lucky to meet once a month. For example, my weekly ttrpg campaign will have its next session on March 20th. In the off weeks we cannot all get together, those remaining play board games or one shot ttrpgs.

Since losing both my groups and taking up SoloRPGing scheduling is rarely an issue, still not a non-issue mind. 😁

I'm going to have to ask you to teach me how to Solo.

1. Decide if you want to journal (write kt down) or not
2. Pick a game you want to play, PLAY as a player not GM.
3. Find an oracle - system of answering yes/no questions. Could be coin flip, roll dice or bought lnes like Mythic GMemulator. This replaces the GM by you asking it yes/no questions.

Do you recommend Mythic?

It’s fine. Uses a 100% roll and comes with other tables. I’ve done alright with it. There are a load of free oracles out there too.

Simplest oracle and free is probably using a d6

1 = No and …
2 = No
3 = No but …
4 = Yes but ….
5 = Yes
6 = Yes and …

4. Get a bunch of random generators suitable for the game you picked. Random encounters, dungeon/location/NPC generators. They replace the GM too.
5. Remember you aren’t the GM, you don’t have to plan the adventure, just play & discover - this took me a bit of time to get my head round,fun when u do

6. Practice and have fun. You need to ask yes/no questions to set the scene and find out what is going on.
Is there … here? Roll on oracle to find out.
Is the orc angry? Roll on oracle to find out.
Is the door locked? Roll on oracle to find out.

There are a lot of solo games out there, some very niche.
But you can play with pretty much any ttrpg you already have. Create a character, or party of characters. Adjust encounter difficulties based on number of characters if needed.
